'71-73s have u-shaped steel brackets that bear against the body, and the 'gill' has 3 studs that pass thru the brackets with nuts and lock washers. Depending on your year of car, the gills may come off easily or be glued in by decades of paint. In any case, the right side is more accessible than the left, the nuts etc being behind the fuel tank body shield.
